Sounds like we should expect them to be like the Captain America: The Captain" trade paperback (which he called a "retroactive Epic" collection). That's a normal-sized trade (in terms of dimensions), clocked in at about 520 pages, and has an MSRP of $39.99. If this is what the Epic line will look like, that's perfect.

I'm already thinking of my cart for May. Here's what I got. This is too much stuff but I don't know what to cut. Probably Age of Bronze and Glory. The first because it will probably stay in print and the second because the series has been cancelled to there's no "rush" to support it. Too bad, too because it was great (at least through the first trade).

Sin Titulo is something I'll probably get from Amazon Marketplace soon after it comes out when someone's selling it low enough. Like I did with Bucko (so worth it).

But man the order for this month is brutal. And that's with only 2 HC's already at 50% off. Thankfully I've got now $35 in credit to offset (which I had forgotten when I crunched the numbers when DCBS's cart went up) so I can be mildly happy.

One thing making my cart more expensive is discovering that at least some of the Marvel Now titles are pretty damn good. I loved the first issues of Fraction's FF and Fantastic Four, as well as Gillen & McKelvie's Young Avengers. Also digging X-Men Legacy, Daredevil by Waid and Hawkeye by Fraction (not sure the last two count as Now titles but they're good).

I may find others. Mavel's giveaway of first issues on Comixology is paying off for them, at least as far as I'm concerned.

Same here. I hadn't bought any X-Men or Avengers titles in years, but now they're taking over my pull. My hat's off to Marvel just now, because they have managed to put some real substance behind all the NOW! hype. And for the first time in forever, there are a couple of events coming up that really pique my interest (ie Infinity and the X-crossover).

I ordered the first trades of the Marvel Now versions of Fantastic Four, X-Men Legacy and Hawkeye from Amazon and just got them. Man, is Mike Allred's artwork incredible in FF. Darla Deering is Joe Lombard. She spends an entire issue running around in a towel. Well played, Matt Fraction.

Kinda like the trade dress and in particular the spines, which match nicely.
